Re: [ghc-steering-committee] GHC 20xx process

As the proponent for Alternative 2: the main goal of Alternative 2 is to create an organized place for debating individual extensions. In a perfect world, I'd prefer Alternative 1, for its simplicity. However, I have a hard time believing we'll get through this process without significant debate, and I worry that Alternative 1 provides no organization for that debate, and so it will end up sprawling over other discussions. I'm not wedded to any details in Alternative 2, just advocating for some imposed organization. Thanks, Richard

Friends

We are asked to consider Proposal 371: the GHC 20xx process https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/372 We have discussed it quite a bit already and I recommend acceptance.

It includes “Alternative1” and “Alternative2” at one point. I found Alternative 2 hard to parse (seemed very process-heavy), so I favour Alternative 1 which seemed simpler.

Please respond within the next week or two, either on the discussion thread, or to this email.

Thanks

Simon
